NAME
       fstobdf - generate BDF font from X font server

SYNOPSIS
       fstobdf [ -server servername ] -fn fontname

       fstobdf -version

DESCRIPTION
       The  fstobdf  program  reads a font from a font server and prints a BDF
       file on the standard output that may be  used  to  recreate  the  font.
       This  is  useful in testing servers, debugging font metrics, and repro-
       ducing lost BDF files.

OPTIONS
       -server servername
               This option specifies the server from which the font should  be
               read.   servername  must be specified in one of the formats de-
               fined in the Font Server Names section of X(7).   If not speci-
               fied, the server name in the FONTSERVER environment variable is
               used.

       -fn fontname
               This option specifies the font for which a BDF file  should  be
               generated.

       -version
               This  option  prints the program version and then exits without
               generating a BDF file.

ENVIRONMENT
       FONTSERVER
               The default server to use.  The server name must  be  specified
               in  one of the formats defined in the Font Server Names section
               of X(7).
